WOW was I ever impressed!

I was scared to make it, pineapple, salt, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro & Cucumbers!!! :eek:

WELL I have a great report it was out of this world!

I can imagine doing this for a demo. I would like to do this in conjunction w/ a simple dessert, like a skillet cake.

IT CAN show lots of products-
Here is a list of what I came up with

Core & more, Knives,Salad choppers, Peeler, The corer, Classic Batter bowl, Food chopper, Cutting boards, Pine apple wedger, Citrus press,Kitchen shears, Grinder set, Herb keeper, Measuring spoons, Prep bowl

I Placed all tiems in the bowl except the jalepeno and went to town with thte salad choppers. Jalepeno I did with the food chopper cause I wanted it real fine.

Give it a whirl- its great!

Yes, very good, especially when served with lime chips!
 
We sampled this at our regional meeting - it was my favorite! I could eat it by the spoonful. I can't wait to not only use it with chips, but also over grilled fish, or grilled chicken. Makes my mouth water to think about it!
 
I made this tonight, it was SUPER hot, so I ended up using the whole pineapple to spread the flavor futher. I got many compliments on it! One guy couldn't believe that it was a PC recipe! He said what about the little pizzas (jalapeno popper pizza) told him it was PC too. He is just baffled right now. NOW only if I could get him to do a show for me! When it gets a little warmer, I'm gonna try to get him to do a grilling show.
 
I will chime in with another AWESOME!
Having some now :)
 
Thinking of going and getting some more LOL!
 
Would it be good without the cilantro?? (allergy)
 
think I'll buy a pineapple tomorrow :)

I can't read and forgot to buy it, tastes fine to me :)
 
I love cilantro and wouldn't dream of not putting it in for myself, but I'm sure that it would be great without it! It's just that awesome!
 
Oh I just thought, this would be really good over cream cheese! I'm gonna go do that and I'll let you know how it is!


Update: Its really good with cream cheese!

For sans cilantro, try adding either fresh basil or mint. Different taste, but both would be excellent... I made it with fresh basil this weekend and it was very good. If you go with mint, you'll want to cut back on the amount :)
 
I love this, I too thought it was a little weird but tried it for my customer appreciation and it was awesome.I'm putting it on my pulled pork sandwich tonight w/ a little chopped cabbage. Yummo!!!
 
Mine was very, very mild and I think next time I'll leave some of the seeds in - but it is super, duper YUMMY!!!
 
Can you make this the day before or does it need to be made fresh? Thinking the cucumber may get soggy???:chef:
 
The next day is ok, but I didn't like it the 3rd day... It definately is better fresh though.
 
Thanks! I am bringing it to a Spring product showing at school. Serving with blue tortilla chips and lime chips.:chef:
 
I love the lime chips with it.
 
I'm heading to Florida for vacation and have a show planned while I'm there. I had planned to make the salsa and a torte. So excited to make it now that I'm hearing such great reviews. Thought I'd be able to sell many pineapple wedgers in Florida. You know sunny and pineapple seem to go hand in hand. Can I make the lime chips ahead of time, will they stay fresh?
 
I honestly didn't like the ones I made with it. Tostitos makes a great hint of lime tortilla chip! I would go with those!
 
That sound like the ticket. We are having the show in a party room by the pool - so it doesn't have a kitchen. I'm looking to do no cook presentations and already have things prepared to snack on. My hostess (my SIL) has almost as much PC stuff as I do, so I'm really only taking our new items. Good thing we have an extra suitcase to take. Wednesday can't get here fast enough !!
 
Where is this recipe? I searched the files but can't find a salsa with pineapple? Sounds like it would be a hit for my Co-Ed Party coming up in a week!
